2025 Union Falcor Snowboard Bindings 100% redesigned for the 24/25 season. The next generation of Falcor raises the bar for snowboard binding design and introduces the future of sustainable materials at Union. This high-performance freeride/freestyle snowboarding binding is designed specifically for Travis’ aggressive riding style and is ready to take on the biggest lines and the steepest spines. FLEX Flex Rating – 7/10 (1=Soft,10=Stiff) BASEPLATE NEW Stage 12 Duraflex Blue - Duraflex Blue nylon is made with 90% sustainable raw materials and is audited and certified by ISCC and TÜV Nord. This is Union’s first partially sustainable nylon material made from a mass-balance feedstock. NEW Asym Molecular Bushing - More durable and more cushioned than traditional thermoformed EVA, Molecular Bushings act as a suspension system between the baseplate and the boards top sheet, to help reduce vibrations from harsh snow pack. The all-new asymmetrical bushing shape allows for increased freestyle flexibility and natural inward canting while riding. Extruded 3D Aluminum Heelcups – Designed for optimum heel hold and minimization of drag, Union 3D Extruded Aluminum heelcups are the strongest in the business. NEW 2 Layer Baseplate Construction - A traditional snowboard baseplate is made of a single layer with the same material and stiffness throughout. Union’s all-new 2 Layer baseplate construction allows them to have two individual layers: the Core [1] and the Frame [2]. Each layer has the possibility of using a unique material and stiffness to achieve the desired ride feel of the binding. NEW Direct Connect MD Core - The all-new Direct Connect Mini Disk Base Core is stiff and responsive. This baseplate layer allows for the fastest possible transfer of energy from the rider to the snowboard that Union has ever achieved. Made with Eco-Friendly Duraflex Blue. NEW Asymmetrical Halo Base Frame - The Asymmetrical Halo Base Frame is softer and more flexible than our traditional baseplates, allowing for a unique new ride feel and increased side to side freestyle flex. The frame also plays the critical roll of connecting the baseplate core, bottom bushing, heelcup and ankle and toe straps together. Made with Eco-Friendly Duraflex Blue. Canted Footbeds HIGHBACK NEW Asym Forged Hybrid Highback - Eco-Friendly Duraflex Blue and Italian made Forged Carbon combine to create a flex profile that compliments Travis Rice’s aggressive freestyle riding. The stiff and responsive Forged Carbon spine allows for instant edge to edge control, while the nylon frame allows for freestyle flexibility and comfort. The updated asymmetrical shape follows the natural angle of the leg for a more anatomical fit and flex. 10% lighter than the previous generation of Falcor highbacks. Classic FLAD – Pull the lever away from the highback and quickly adjust your forward lean angle to suit the terrain in front of you. STRAPS NEW Hybrid 1.0 Ankle Strap - Instant response meets all day long foot comfort. The Hybrid 1.0 ankle strap combines our responsive Exoframe exterior with the cushioned comfort and flexibility of the Forma interior. The all-new V cut shape allows riders to push forward into the ankle strap without pressure points. Lightweight, durable, and extremely comfortable, the Hybrid 1.0 ankle strap has quickly become a new freestyle team favorite. NEW TS 6.0 Toe Strap – Separating the exterior toe strap frame and interior rubber grip allows the rubber grip to form fit perfectly to any boot shape on the market today, while a new more integrated toe connector gives the the binding a more finished overall look. Tool-less adjustments BUCKLES Magnesium S1 Ratchets with Aluminum Base – Freezing temps, water damage and constant strapping and unstrapping all play a role in the longevity of a binding ratchet. Lucky for you, the all-new Magnesium 4.0 ratchets are Union’s answer to the elements. A fully intergraded spring protected from the harsh outside provide you with Union’s best ratchet to date. Longer life span and better spring return guaranteed. ADDITIONAL FEATURES Grade 8.8 Hardware – The strongest steel available on the market, Union's use of Grade 8.8 represents a commitment to delivering the strongest and most reliable bindings on the market today. Mini Disk – Compatible with 4x2 and The Channel™.
